Maybe it need also a Japanese Windows??? I have tested Shogidokoro at 3 different computers (2x XP professional=20 and 1x XP home). At one computer I got an error message ("Shogidokoro has problems and=20 must be ended. Do you like to inform Microsoft ...") and at the other=20 two computers the process simply disappeared after a few seconds. I'm really experienced with "japanize your western windows" and after=20 some time I even found the option "Language for programs without=20 UNICODE-Support" with which Japanese works very well. (I believe only=20 Java didn't use this option in non-UNICODE-Controls and in such programs= =20 there is still something to do.) Also there is one more program with the same problems as Shogidokoro:=20 MyBona.exe MyBona.exe didn't work with the same error description. I didn't took=20 too much attention at it, because there are good other GUIs for Bonanza.= =20 (But still I wondered, why it's not working.) But now it seems (in my eyes), that the problem is Dot.NET for Japanese= =20 programs in western windows. Of course I had installed the correct Version of Dot.NET (simply testing= =20 it by renaming the "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"=20 directory I got a message that this version of Dot.NET is missing). Also I had tried the language pack for Dot.NET without success. Is there somebody with nonjapanese window where Shogidokoro and MyBona=20 are working? Can somebody help me, please? For MyBona it was not so important, but I really like to get Shogidokoro= =20 working and maybe this will be really the start of a similar success=20 story happened with Arena (or even X-/WinBoard) in the chess world. By the way: are there plans for Shogidokoro to support different=20 languages (at least English - which should be enough)? ;-) Thanks, Bernhard --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: = bobd science uva nl EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a2i6Ys.= a7fLI9.= Ym9iZEBz Or send an email to: shogi-unsubscribe topica com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=3DTEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
